But if Beings don’t feel cold….I don’t think he means literally. Can’t Beings die if they’re without a Master for too long? What if his very SPIRIT feels cold? What if his feeling of cold is his life force dying?

That wasn’t his -reason- for bonding with Patrick, it was the only context in which he could leave the party with another person without it looking weird.

His reason for bonding with Patrick was probably along the lines of ‘I have wanted a being this whole time because I’m following in Ann Walker’s shady footsteps and holy crap look a being I have struck gold’.
